Atlanta United vs Minnesota United Match Prediction

By Bharath Ramm R

Atlanta United were unable to jump ahead of New York City after only managing a goalless draw with New England Revolution during the weekend. Despite coming up against a team that had conceded more than 10 goals in the last three games, Atlanta were unable to find the decisive goal – although it was not down to the lack of chances. Minnesota United’s poor away form continued with the team losing 2-1 against Houston Dynamo. The home team were wasteful with the chances but ended up getting late goals through Mauro Manotas and Alberto Elis. Minnesota United came up with a late consolation through a Sam Nicholson strike. Here we have our SBAT match preview with all the best predictions, betting tips and match stats.

Betting Tips and Predictions

Atlanta are back at home for the crucial league match which could see them go into the top two places of the Eastern Conference. Gerardo Martino’s team will be highly motivated at this prospect. Even though they could only get a draw against New England, the team did play reasonably well and will be a force to reckon with at the Mercedes Benz stadium. Minnesota do not travel well and have only recently picked up their two away wins. Gerardo Martino has seen his team keep a clean sheet in six out of the last seven games. Minnesota are amongst the lowest scorers, and I would back a clean sheet from Atlanta. Even though the recent match for Atlanta finished as a goalless draw, the club has witnessed high-scoring matches in five out of the previous six. Minnesota United have seen over 2.5 goals in their last four MLS games. I would go with this game seeing Atlanta score over 2.5 goals.

Atlanta United Preview

Minnesota United are close to being out of the play-off picture after dropping 10 points behind Real Salt Lake. Even though Minnesota United have two games in hand compared to RSL, the poor form of the club over the last few months – especially in the away matches – is unlikely to give them a lot of confidence. Minnesota have picked up just two wins in the last five league matches. And with the club being on the road for three out of the remaining four MLS matches, it is highly unlikely that Minnesota will make a push for the top six of the Western Conference. Christian Ramirez remains the key player at the club with 13 league goals.
